Pairing seamlessly with Spirituals: Soul-Stirring Settings for Jazz Piano (available separately in physical or PDF formats), SpiritualsPlus: Voice Edition transforms the acclaimed solo piano arrangements into beautiful accompaniments for a vocalist. Each piece in this vocal edition includes:
✅ Vocal melody line with lyrics, allowing singers to convey the powerful lyrics along with the beautiful melodies.

Although this product does not include the piano sheet music, it’s specifically designed to combine with Spirituals, which includes special-feature piano solo sections as part of each arrangement. This gives the pianist a moment to shine while creating more dynamic and engaging performances.
With these vocal arrangements, singers will convey the powerful themes of the spirituals—hope, resilience, and faith—and join with their collaborative pianists to showcase their combined artistry and interpretation.
Perfect for:
• Vocalists seeking meaningful solo material with lyrical and musical depth

Whether in worship services, concerts, recitals, or educational settings, SpiritualsPlus: Voice Edition invites both performers and audiences to fully experience the weight and beauty of spirituals in a powerful way.
🎵 Important Reminder: The Spirituals Piano Book (available in physical or PDF formats) is required to use this product and is a separate purchase. This downloadable product includes the vocal melody line and lyrics only; the piano accompaniment is played from the original piano collection.
